The two didn't dare to breathe loudly, as eavesdropping was not a respectable act.
Although they didn't actively go to listen.
But wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone found out?
Su Nianxue gestured to Gu Yanliu, signaling her to come inside.
Gu Yanliu understood, and the two tiptoed into the main room. Only after closing the door did they let out a long sigh of relief.
Gu Yanliu said softly, "Sister-in-law, Sister Taozi is also very pitiful."
Wang Erya's brother is too despicable.
He not only beat and verbally abused Sister Peach, but also tried to swindle money from the eldest brother.
That's absolutely outrageous!
I absolutely have to tell my older brother tomorrow, so he can be careful around him.
"Yanliu, calm down."
You can't tell my older brother about this.
Let's pretend we didn't hear that tonight, okay?
This is a matter between the couple; if my brother gets involved, it will cause a lot of trouble.
Su Nianxue warned her with a serious expression that the Wang family already minded the relationship between Taozi and Gu Yansong.
If Gu Yansong gets involved, Taozi's life will likely become even more difficult in the future.
"Did you hear me? Don't tell your older brother." Fearing she might lose her temper, Su Nianxue reminded her again.
Gu Yanliu bit her lip. "I understand, sister-in-law!"
She wasn't stupid; she quickly figured it out.
My elder brother finally managed to escape the Liu family and is now able to live a peaceful life.
If we get involved in Sister Peach's affairs again, how will we ever live in peace?
She was just too angry, and in that short time, she had already figured it out.
"Alright, go to sleep, it's getting late." Seeing that she was a little down, Su Nianxue's tone softened.
The two went to their respective rooms.
Su Nianxue couldn't sleep and stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
She thought of Taozi and Wang Erya, and then she thought of herself.
She suddenly felt that the bed seemed excessively large, and the room was too spacious and quiet.
I wonder when he will come back?
Maybe... next time he goes out, I can ask him where he's going?
How many days will you be gone?
What are you going to do?
But will he really tell her?
Will you find her meddlesome?
And will he laugh at her for breaking her promise not to interfere in his affairs?
She shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts. It seemed she had slept too much in the afternoon; she wasn't sleepy at all now.
She pulled the blanket over her head, thinking, "If I can't sleep, I'll just force myself to sleep!"
However, she seemed to hear some noise in the yard.
Not only did she hear it, but Gu Yanliu also heard it.
The two of them opened the door quietly at the same time, each holding a stick about the thickness of an arm, and walked into the yard.
But when they saw that familiar figure in the moonlight, they both threw away the sticks they were holding.
Hearing the sound of ping-pong behind him, Gu Yanbai turned around, looked at the two of them, and frowned.
What are you two doing?
Who are you trying to scare to death by saying nothing?"
Gu Yanliu ran up to him immediately, "Brother, you're back!"
My sister-in-law and I were talking about you last night! We didn't expect you to be back so soon!
Hearing this, Gu Yanbai's pent-up anger dissipated somewhat, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Oh, what did you and your sister-in-law say about me?"
Are you secretly talking about me behind my back again?
Gu Yanliu laughed and said, "How could that be?"
We were just saying, "Why were you gone for so long this time? We've missed you!"
"Oh, really?"
"You...you all missed me!" The corners of his mouth widened, and his eyes sparkled with obvious laughter.
Su Nianxue felt awkward and changed the subject.
Why didn't you knock when you came back?
Climbing walls!
We thought a thief had broken in!
If it weren't for the moon tonight, we might have mistaken you for a thief and taken care of you!
Hearing this, Gu Yanbai was in a very bad mood.
"How dare you say that?"
Didn't I already tell you not to close the shop so early?
But you just wouldn't listen, and you even made me climb the wall.
Did you buy that watch just to display it?
While they were talking, Gu Yanliu had already picked up the package outside the door and brought it in.
He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, this really isn't my sister-in-law's fault."
We were just relaxing in the yard, enjoying the cool air!
This isn't something that happened because I overheard someone's conversation and then couldn't sit still anymore.
That's why I closed the door and went to bed early.
"Well done, you two have learned to eavesdrop!" Gu Yanbai raised an eyebrow, his sharp gaze sweeping evenly over the two of them.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Are we that kind of people?
We were just sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air when we overheard it.
"We were afraid people would find out, so we sneaked into the house," Gu Yanliu explained as she helped him carry his bag into the house.
After hearing her explanation, Gu Yanbai's expression softened.
"Okay, I guess I misunderstood you two."
However, mind your own business and don't interfere in other people's affairs, understand?
"I know, my sister-in-law said the same thing."
"Alright, I'm going to sleep now, you guys should rest too!" Gu Yanliu clapped his hands and left.
Seeing that Su Nianxue was still standing there in a daze, Gu Yanbai said, "What are you standing there for?"
They didn't even offer to help me tidy up.
"What's there to pack?" She glanced at him; all he had was a suitcase.
Besides, hasn't it already been brought in?
